Lavender Mandarin Cleansing Grains - This is a line that's completely new to me and I have to say, I'm really loving the quality and performance of everything I'm testing out. The first product I tried was the Lavender Mandarin Cleaning Grains and boy, do I wish I had more of this! The name of this might be a little deceiving as I found these "grains" to actually be soft and smooth little balls of wonderful. There's nothing rough or grainy about it. Rubbed between damp hands, this product turns into a super creamy cleanser that I love. It feels so pure, fresh and so natural, I would recommend this to everyone. Oh, and it smells just heavenly! And at $16, it's a steal. Gluten-free!

Spiced Orange Lotion Bars - These are delicious! Truly. Not only do they smell wonderful, but they are so moisturizing and feel so good going on that I'm seriously thinking you need this. With super-hydrating ingredients like shea butter and oils like coconut, avocado and castor, your skin will feel so soft and look so dewy, it's going to be gorgeous on arms, chest and legs for the Spring/Summer months. My boyfriend loves the scent so much, I've also been applying it to my neck nightly! Gluten-free! $10

Pacific Lip TreatmentCalling this a lip balm just isn't right, as it's definitely a treatment for the lips. If you're a lip balm addict or want subtly plumper lips, you're going to love MVO's new anti-aging Pacific Lip Treatment. Their trademarked MVO LipPlump helps to maintain lip fullness. This is so wonderful to wear due to the fact that it's so soothing, moisturizing and the scent is so light and pretty! I keep this next to my bed and use it both on my lips and also on my cuticles...I love multi-functional products! Oh, and it's a nice-sized (and beautiful) jar for $68.

The Perfume Rollers - How is it that I loved the smell of every single one of Valentina's scents? I've got Sunny Outlook (a citrus blend of Mandarin, Lemon and Ginger) next to my bed because I love to smell it before I sleep and True Love (Cardamom, Chocolate and Roses) in my handbag. Prosperity and Psychic Detox hang out around the apartment, and unlike many other fragrances with pure ingredients, I find that these last and are very, very affordable. $12.99

Green Tea Scrub/Chia Tea Scrub - This feels like a real body treatment you're giving yourself in the shower. A gorgeous dark green mossy texture of pure goodness that you rub all over yourself. It's recommended that you keep this on your skin for a few minutes to let it work its magic, so I've been scrubbing up and shaving or doing something else to let some time go by. I felt a slight tingle on my skin while I was applying this which I didn't mind at all as I felt it was working. This left my skin super soft, really clean and fresh. I recommend going over your skin with a soft cloth to make sure all of the product is removed. Take note: this can get messy, but it's just so much fun and it works, so who cares? $14.95

Wow love all these finds! I'd love to use those lotions bars and the tea scrubs sound really unique. I've been looking for a good rollerball perfume! (Or a good, affordable natural scent in general) Those scents sound awesome and the price point is great! Also, lady we need to hang out now that spring is here :)-Kasey
